Loaded question. But I’d get fast internet, fire sticks and YouTube tv

You are going to have to do your own research on this simply because the channels available and prices vary by service and area. What matters to you or your household isn't avaialable on every service.
Does your wife need Hallmark? Hulu Live and YouTube TV are out.
Do you need Fox Sports Regional for local NBA or MLB games? ATT Now is currently your only option.
The live local over the air channels vary by service and area too.
You also are going to want a service with a high number of simultaneous streams, you usually have to pay extra for that kind of action.
Don't assume a traditional cable package won't work for you. The streamers have increased in price enough that you can sometimes get a better deal with a cable bundle if they're also your internet provider.

Hulu or YoutubeTV (for you) + Philo (for the wife)
That’s $20 a month for Hallmark and 60 channels he’s already paying for with the other package. Frndly TV is a much better deal if you’re going that route. A smaller channel bundle to get Hallmark so it’s only $8 a month.

We mostly watch sports and kids do the disney channel. Want local channels also.

Unfortunately picking a streaming service can be just as annoying as picking a cable package. It's all very competitive, channels come and go, and prices only go up. Right now this works for my family, will most likely change in a few months or so.
Amazon Prime TV--free with Prime sub. I dont count this an an expense.
Hulu Live--great but they keep increasing the price. I will most likely go another route soon.
Netflix and Disney Plus--me and my wife share an account with a friend. They split the bill with us. Not bad but I don't even need Netflix lately...
Lately the big cable companies are getting wiser and will drive up the cost of internet if you don't bundle cable.

For sports you may want to check out what Sling Orange plus the Sports package ($40/month) offers compared to the other streaming services. If you go this route, you will also want to download the ESPN+ app for even more options.
Disney+ will be a must have for the kids, $7 per month.

You can get hallmark by itself for $50 a year. That's what we do.
Posted on 12/2/20 at 10:45 am to ellunchboxo
Sling orange has espn’s, sec network etc?
What do y’all use for local channels like fox, abc etc?

We have Hulu live which has locals and all the sports we could want. Disney+ for the kids and share a Netflix sub with friends. It has everything we want except for astros games which can be found on the web.

YouTube TV has all my locals.

How many devices can you have on at once with Hulu?

MrCEO what’s do you pay a month and how many tv’s?

Hulu Live is $55 for I believe 2 screens.
+ $10 a month = Unlimited Screens
+ $10 a month for enhanced DVR (increase in space and ability to skip commercials IIRC)
So probably $75 a month LINK
You also get the Hulu programming included with that, like the new Animaniacs reboot since you've mentioned your kids.

We've had ATT TV for the last couple years. We have the package with the most channels, but not the highest price. Kinda weird to be honest. It has basically everything you need including sports channels. It also includes local channels and HBO for $5 as well.
Edit: If you do sign up for HBO, you can use your TV info to log in to HBO Max which is normally $15 if you get it by itself. With the news about all new Warner Bros. movies released in 2021 being put on HBO Max at the same time as in theaters, I'd say HBO Max is almost a must have.

Just switched from YouTube TV to Sling to save some money. It's been 2 weeks and I will be switching back. YTTV is the best by far
